125LC from sugar beet country :D

[ratcrunch]

I have already put a thread about my LC on the 125 chat section but I thought I would start a proper thread on my progress in tidying it up as Im starting to get it ready for an mot this week.
Im going to respray it & tidy it up but only using aerosols & use it for a bit then when I move home & get a decent shed I plan on rebuilding it & getting the frame & wheels powder coated & I will most likely get a compressor & spray gun & respray it myself although Im a bit out of practice with a spray gun so I may try an old tank first so we will see what happens & I will post more pictures as soon as anything changes ;D

I haven't got much done so far just got the forks out to fit new seals.
The front mudguard is badly cracked but Ive got a fiberglass aftermarket one from the era which I had on my old LC its one of the ones that has the circular holes each side I know its not to everyones taste but Ive always really liked them.
Next step is to do the seals & put the forks etc back in & then fit some rear pegs, replace the headlight & rear light bulbs & I expect I will replace the battery too then MOT time

i saw that at the fenmans rally for sale did u get it from mr burton . good luck with it

[ratcrunch]

Yeah I got it from Gary about a week after the Fenman I saw it briefly there but I didn't get much chance to look at it as it was packed on his stall so I went down his unit & had a look the engine is sweet I went to it the other day & it started 2nd kick after standing 3 weeks GB said its recently had a top end rebuild with a new piston & rebore etc so I will be running it in to be on the safe side.
Progress is a bit slow at the moment cos the bikes kept at my dad's house 20 miles from me but Im hoping to have it MOT'd soon Ive decided to use it as it is seeing the weather's getting crap & I will sort the paintwork when the weather improves again

[sidney]

hi mate yes thats me . hope u get that rd all nice . thanks yes took a long while to get my lc like that ;D

[ratcrunch]

No way! Hows it going? I haven't seen you in a few years.
Ive been wanting an LC125 for years I had one about 4 years ago but it really wanted a rebuild & made this one look mint I was throwing good money after bad then your old white & red Mk3 was down GBs for sale I wanted to buy it but someone else beat me to it.
I used to love your mk3 it was mint when you had it & much cooler than an Aprilia although I had one of them a couple of years ago wouldn't mind another one day.
Im just gonna get this MOT'd & use it as it is & then when I move I will strip it down once Ive got a decent shed but for now it will do as it is.

Still not a huge amount done as Ive been resurrecting my WR125 but Ive put the forks back in with new seals & pressure washed the bike.
Ive also mocked up the replacement front mudguard its an aftermarket fiberglass one which I got off of an air cooled RD250 years ago.
Ive also bought an Allspeed exhaust which is quite tatty but its good enough & a Micron rad guard too.
